The Impossible Burger is a burger that tastes exactly like beef, but it was made using

vegetables and science. There are many kinds of “veggie burgers” for vegetarians (素食者

)

，

but this one is made for meat lovers. The company that makes this burger, Impossible Foods

，

wants to change the food that people eat to reduce climate change.

Scientist Celeste works on the flavor (

风味

) and texture (

纹理

) of the burger. She looks for

the

key

points

of

beef

its

flavor,

smell

and

look.

Then

those

points

are

copied

using

plant

based

ingredients (

成分

)< /p>

，

which make the burger look and taste like blood and give it a meaty texture.

The Impossible Burger has the same nutrition as beef, without the unhealthy parts. In fact,

taste,

nutrition

and

reducing

climate

change

were

all

equally

important

when

creating

the

burger.

Cows are actually terrible for the environment. They need lots of land and water, and they

create greenhouse gases. However, an Impossible Burger uses 95% less land, 75% less water, and

creates 85-87% less greenhouse gases than a beef burger.

That's why this burger was made for meat lovers. The goal is for them to eat less meat in

order to protect environment. At the same time they can still eat delicious burgers that taste

like real meat.

We've

seen

a

worldwide

health

crisis

(

危机

)

bring

out

the

worst

in

some

people,

but

fortunately,

we've also been able to see it bring out the best in others.

A taxi driver in Spain has been providing COVID-19 (

新冠肺炎

) patients with free rides to

and from the hospitals. Doctors and nurses wanted to surprise him with their thanks for helping

out.

They

tricked

him

down

to

the

hospital

under

the

pretense

of

needing

to

pick

up

a

sick

patient,

but in reality, doctors and nurses lined the hall waiting to applaud (

鼓掌

) him.

“This

is

a

surprise

that

has

been

given

to

a

taxi

driver

who

takes

patients

to

the

hospitals

without charge,” wrote the taxi company that first shared the video.

The man seemed completely taken aback by the gesture, stopping in the middle of the doors

as the whole room cheered for him.

He was also given an envelope full of money and the satisfying results of his own COVID-19

test.

The video has since been shared tens of thousands of times across the world, because kind

gestures break the language barrier (

).

“

When the crisis is finished, there will have been two types of people... the good and the

bad,” one user wrote. “With workmates like him, I am proud to be a taxi driver, son of a taxi

driver, and father of a taxi driver.”

With

the

times,

just

knowing

we can all appreciate.

Cars

could

be

able

to

to

each

other

to

warn

about

dangers

on

the

roads

using

5G

technology

in future, according to researchers.

Researchers at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) believe 5G may enable driverless cars to

send each other messages about dangers such as ice or deep holes.

And they believe the high-speed, low -delay (

低延迟的

) nature of 5G will improve driverless

cars to the point where they will be safer than the cars being driven today. They predict the

number of road traffic accidents which cause more than 1. 3 million deaths and up to 50 million

people injured worldwide every year will drop greatly as a result.

Dr

Dimitrios,

a

member

of

the

research

group,

said,

“To

have

a

better

idea

of

what

the

future

will look like, think of having cars that not only use sensors (

感应器

) to find what's around

them, but also can talk to each other about safety information n

earby.”

“I'm

sure

anyone

who

has

had

a

bad

experience

on

frozen

roads

would

have

benefited

from

knowing

about

the

dangerous

conditions

ahead

of

time

s0

they

could

have

changed

their

speed

or,

if

possible,

even avoided that route (

路线) altogether.”

With the help of 5G, an early warning system in vehicles will come into use within the next

few

years.

Cars

that

are

close

enough

to

the

danger

area

will

pass

warning

messages

to

other

cars

around them using communication technologies, but also to cars further away using 5G, fast and

reliably. Then those cars will send the same information to cars near them and 80 on, forming
